They decompose and help in rich the soil surrounding your plants. It is the same idea behind a compost bend. Oxygen and sunlight break these fibers down and turn them into a rich soil.
Reply:They break apart and decompose. This is a good thing. Add fresh or switch to something else like cypress mulch. Takes a bit longer to break down.
Reply:The pine bark nuggets break down and add nutrients to your garden soil...it s good thing! Don't get Cypress mulch...they cut cypress tree down JUST FOR MULCH...and it is NOT a sustainable resourse...and Cypress mulch compacts and the water runs off instead of going down to your plants...stick to the pine bark...
